Presto classical, 2016
"The premiere recording of Philip Glass's 2013 opera The Perfect American about the death of Walt Disney performed by an esteemed roster of soloists including Christopher Purves as Walt Disney ... A fictionalized biography of Disney's final months. We discover Disney's delusions of immortality via cryogenic preservation, his tirades alongside his Abraham Lincoln talking robot, his utopian visions and his backyard labyrinth of toy trains"

"Der Live-Mitschnitt unter Dennis Russell Davies zeigt die Musik im bestmöglichen Licht: transparent und klanglich ausladend zugleich, flüssig vorwärtsgehend. Christopher Purves singt die Titelfigur interessanterweise als Heldenbaritone im Musical-Tonfall. Allerdings weiss man auch nach 90 Minuten nicht, ob es dem Komponisten Glass um Ironie oder doch um amerikanisches Pathos ging"
